Desire plays a vital role.
Looks to me like my Chicago Cubs will stand pat. Make no big changes in personnel for the next baseball season. Figuring that the players they already have, including young and upcoming stalwarts in the minor leagues, will provide the necessary impetus for improvement. Enough to win the Central division or a wildcard berth in the playoffs. I like that approach. Better than adding big-name free agents. I want a team effort. And a better mental approach to the game of baseball. I want to see the Cubs play with confidence and a swagger. Finding new ways to win. Rather than lose. The Cubs have the third highest payroll in baseball. But that wasn't good enough to get 'em into the playoffs last season. An indication that money doesn't necessarily buy success. No doubt about it, talent is a factor. But even moreso, desire plays a vital role. --Jim Broede

I think the world's best athletes have remarkable mental control over their game or skill or performance. That it takes as much mental effort/training as physical effort/training. A perfect balance, of sorts. A perfect flow of one's entire being. --Jim
